I was pretty apprehensive about this run before I set out. It had been a week since I tried to run at all fast. It was also late afternoon/early evening by the time I made it out. It was in the mid-70s and pretty humid. I started out with 2 ½ miles at around 8 min/mile pace, and then I was going to try to do 3 miles at MGP (or faster). The official training plan was 8-12 with 4 @ MGP, but I knew that I’d get stopped at too many lights, and that it would be easiest to do the MGP stuff in the middle. For this middle portion I ran 6:51, 7:01, 6:59, and then the last 2 ¾ miles were easy (8:30 pace). Not sure how I feel about the run. I was pleased to get some faster miles in, but this bug/virus I had has really sapped my energy. Starting to debate whether I should race this weekend, and if I do…should I turn off do the ½ marathon instead of the full?!?! |
